Distributed Time Sync in a Directed Acyclic Graph of a Time-Synchronized Network Based on Correlating Timing Information from Higher Network Devices

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the data packet is transmitted by the wireless network device, and the messages are received by the wireless network device, within a prescribed time slot of the time-synchronized network.

7. The method of claim 6, wherein the executing includes repeating the distributed time synchronization in response to each received message in a corresponding receive slot, including reallocating a corresponding lower weighting value to aged ones of the timing errors.

11. The apparatus of claim 10, wherein the data packet is transmitted by the device interface circuit, and the messages are received by the device interface circuit, within a prescribed time slot of the time-synchronized network.

15. The apparatus of claim 14, wherein the processor circuit is configured for repeating the distributed time synchronization in response to each received message in a corresponding receive slot, including reallocating a corresponding lower weighting value to aged ones of the timing errors.
